Pros
- Great benefits (healthcare is paid 100%, stock program and stock awards, unlimited PTO, flexible WFH, breakfast & lunch, smoothie bar, omelette bar, etc)
-Great people. I love the people that I work with. They are so passionate and inclusive. I've worked at companies before that were very cliquey and all based on title, this is definitely not how Square is
-Mission driven. We have an overall mission of economic empowerment and transparency. I really feel our mission in our daily work and I feel like it adds so much value to the work we do.
-Fun atmosphere, very collaborative, lots of opportunities to work cross functionally.
-leadership is supportive of new projects and working with other teams / team members.
-Great place to grow and learn. So many resources and people that want to help!
Cons
-Open work environment can be very distracting. I wish there was more of an office feel (I know that not many people would say that)
-I think the pay may be on the lower end of big tech in SF. You really have to fight for your comp here and it can be frustrating.
-Internally, the promotion/compensation process is not very transparent and it seems like if you don't fight tooth and nail and bring it up every week you'll get passed on and they don't promote people out of the regular promotion cycles very often.
